David J. Ferrell

I was charged DWI by State of Texas. After some online research, I interviewed with 3 lawyers, and eventually I decided to go with Mr. Ferell due to his 30 plus years experiences as well as I feel comfortable working with him. This is my first lawsuit in my whole life (and hopefully this is the la...st time too), and with Mr.Ferrell's explanation and guidance, I knew what situation I was dealing with and what's the best and worst case scenario that I may get. He fought my case from many different angles and the "never-give-up" spirit impressed me the most. At courtroom, he did all the talking, and I felt I am in good hand all the time. I know I made a right decision hiring him and I highly recommand his service to people who need criminal defense.

I’ve given Mr. Ferrell a 10/10 rating here. He deserves every bit of it and more! I’m a disabled grandmother from Seattle with a pristine criminal record, who recently found herself caught in the place where Texas/Federal drug laws clashed with my home state’s stand on medical cannabis. Yes, I was... naive enough to not know in advance about the U.S. Border Patrol Station in Hudspeth County. My fault totally! I admit it! It never occurred to me to research that aspect of my trip because I had no plans to actually cross the border, so I had no idea that I’d have to visit the Border Patrol and their dogs on I-10 as I traveled between El Paso and San Antonio until I hit it. Boy, was I surprised! The Border Patrol officers and the detective who came over from Hudspeth County were all very professional and courteous to me that day, all apologetic about how people with medical necessity were not their real targets … but, overall, it wasn’t an experience I’d recommend to anyone :( Through researching lawyers here on AVVO, I ended up hiring Mr. David Ferrell to represent me … and I CAN’T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT HIM AND HOW HE HANDLED MY CASE!! Yes, it cost a chunk of money to hire him initially, but it would have been expensive to hire any good lawyer for something like this. In addition to knowing I was hiring someone with long years of experience and a vast network of local contacts—which made him more than worth his fees right off the bat—Mr. Ferrell also worked things out with the court so that I did NOT have to fly back to Texas for court dates, which saved me TONS of plane ticket/hotel/restaurant/rental car money. By the time the whole case was resolved and I added up what I could have spent –vs- what I actually spent, his initial fees were ultimately VERY reasonable! His success also exceeded my wildest hopes in this situation! I was hoping he could at least get the penalty cut down to a hefty fine, but—thanks to his expertise and a long letter from my doctor explaining why they’ve been forced to treat my chronic back pain and migraines with medical cannabis (severe allergies to traditional pain meds)—Mr. Ferrell got the DA and the judge to dismiss my case completely. Mr. Ferrell is awesome, and I couldn’t have done this without him! His staff is also top notch! They’re attentive and keep you posted, and I can’t recommend him and his team any higher than the TEN I gave them here … because AVVO won’t let me. But I would if I could! :)

I am writing this review because I live in another state and had to find an attorney to represent a family member in the Army who was arrested on 3 counts for something he never did. All I had to go by was internet reviews to select an attorney and everything I read pointed to Mr. Ferrell as being t...he best choice available. My husband has a law degree and used to practice law and when I showed him the results of what I found out he said "I think David Ferrell is the man you need." Mr. Ferrell and all of his staff are very professional, quick to respond, easy to talk to and very kind and helpful. All three charges were dropped as a result of Mr. Ferrell's representation. If you have cancer, you need a good doctor. If you have a legal problem, you need David J. Ferrell to represent you. He knows the law and having been a judge himself at one time knows exactly how the legal system works and how to try a case. He has the very highest ethics and is absolutely excellent in every way. You will feel so much better when you talk to him and everything that he told me worked out to be exactly as he said. Without Mr. Ferrell's representation, my family member likely would have spent a year in jail and ruined his military career. I have only the highest regard and praise for David J. Ferrell and his staff.

Mr. Ferrell worked on my case which was a misdemeanor. He displayed compassion, genuine concern, and maintained a non-judgemental attitude through out. He was reassuring but never gave me false hope. Coming from a different background, I didn't even know the difference between a misdemeanor and a f...elony, but I was blessed to have him and his extensive understanding of the law as well as his vast experiences in practicing law on my side. Whether you momentarily acted recklessly because of depression or stress, or you were wrongly accused of something horrible, don't let a dark mark stain your flawless record forever. Get Mr. Ferrell to help you. We won my case all because of him.
